The Tile update:


Melissa has completed the tiling of the shower, and it looks outstanding.


Here's the floor, with tiles from our neighbor (up here) mixed in with tiles from the stash we found in the back yard of a house that was being demolished. She had to cut the terra cotta colored ones up to get to the 4x4 inch size.


















here's the north wall, with the window. You can see the little latch I carved to hold the window shut. just a stick with one bolt through it, and a notch.






















The same north wall, and you can see the skylight. (sliding glass door also from the demolition site)





















This is a view out of the shower, looking out the window back towards the yurt. Note the towel hooks, again carved from redwood branches.























And, the highlight--- the mirror moon mosaic! Pretty amazing, huh?
